"The 2017 FIVE Palm Jumeirah, party-pool programming, the working contemporary Palm party-resort."
Why this rank, FIVE Palm Jumeirah Dubai opened in 2017 on Palm Jumeirah's eastern crescent, the working contemporary Palm party-resort. 470 rooms and suites and 4 penthouses. The Skyhouse Penthouse, the Sky Five-Bedroom Penthouse, and the multi-bedroom Sky Suites are the signature accommodations. The Beach by FIVE pool deck runs the party-programming with the working Dubai pool-party calendar (DJ residencies, brunches with party programming, and the Friday-and-Saturday day-party register). The dining programme includes Maiden Shanghai (Chinese), Praia (Mediterranean rooftop), and Cinque (Italian). The Palm eastern-crescent position is ten minutes by car to Dubai Marina, twenty to Downtown. Best for the Palm Jumeirah party-resort Dubai stay.
Best room: Skyhouse Penthouse, sea view, private pool
"Party-resort on the Palm, the social honeymoon for couples who want a club downstairs."
FIVE Palm Jumeirah opened in 2017 on the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah (the closest Palm property to the JBR-Marina cluster), the property holds the working FIVE-brand party-resort positioning with the highest-volume club-and-pool programme in any Dubai luxury hotel. Four hundred and seventy rooms and suites, the upper-tier Sky Pool Penthouse (with private rooftop pool and Burj-Al-Arab-direction view) is the working flagship. The asset is the working FIVE Beach club, the in-house dayclub-and-nightclub-and-pool-deck programme runs Wednesday through Sunday with the highest-grossing club-night programming in any Dubai hotel, and the working honeymoon couple who wants the social-club-night Dubai experience books FIVE Palm rather than the higher-tier discreet-luxury cluster. FIVE Palm is the right pick for the social-honeymoon couple where the dayclub-and-nightclub adjacency and the working FIVE-brand-party-resort positioning are the working assets, the trip is the social-Dubai honeymoon, and the working centerpiece is the Saturday-night FIVE Beach club session.
Sky Pool Penthouse (the rooftop-pool flagship) or Premier Burj View Suite for the upper-tier option.
Book FIVE Beach for the Saturday night, the working club-night programme is the centerpiece. The Sky Pool Penthouse is the working private-rooftop-pool alternative for couples who want the FIVE-positioning without the public-pool scale.
FIVE Palm Jumeirah sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Dubai for a Honeymoon list. It scored an aggregate 9.5/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a honeymoon-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Dubai neighbourhood, see Palm Jumeirah and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces, the ones that earn this rank, are typically the first to sell out.

FIVE Palm Jumeirah's case for the Dubai stay is the contemporary Palm party-resort positioning. The 2017 property on Palm Jumeirah's eastern crescent is the working contemporary Palm party-resort with the working Dubai pool-party calendar.
The 470 rooms and suites and 4 penthouses include the Skyhouse Penthouse, the Sky Five-Bedroom Penthouse (suited to group stays), and the multi-bedroom Sky Suites.
The Beach by FIVE pool deck runs the party-programming with DJ residencies, brunches with party programming, and the Friday-and-Saturday day-party register. The dining programme includes Maiden Shanghai (Chinese), Praia (Mediterranean rooftop), and Cinque (Italian). The Palm eastern-crescent position is ten minutes by car to Dubai Marina and twenty to Downtown. The structural difference from the larger Palm properties is the contemporary-party register: where Atlantis The Royal runs family-and-celebrity programming, FIVE runs the working Palm bachelor and bachelorette destination. Best for the Palm Jumeirah party-resort Dubai stay for bachelor and bachelorette groups or the working contemporary Dubai-party traveller.
